Kelly Starett is featured on the CFH blog once a week due to my man crush on him and the fact that his work speaks volumes about how we can improve human movement. He owns a CrossFit, participates in CrossFit and has an extensive understanding of how the innards of our body bend, move, stretch and mold so why not listen to everything he says?
The article I linked up today focuses on the important of your position throughout the day and during a workout. You have thousands of chances each day to make a good decision or a poor decision as to how you are aligned. “The way you move and the positions you acquire throughout the day have a direct impact on your overall health.” As you know we are being very cautious with the position and movement pattern during our 20 rep back squat program. So what a perfect article to link up during our second week of this cycle…The Missing Link- Movement as a Skill
